Get the Smile You’ve Always Wanted with Porcelain Veneers

Do you find it difficult to laugh freely because you are embarrassed by how your teeth look? Many of us choose to giggle behind our hands to hide chipped, stained, or misshaped teeth. If you wish you could erase a dental flaw or redesign your smile without a long, complicated, and invasive procedure, porcelain veneers might be for you. Read on as your local cosmetic dentist explains what this modern dental treatment is and how it can give you a smile you can’t wait to show off.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, tooth-shaped shells of dental porcelain. When they are attached to the front of a tooth, they cover up its entire visible surface. Since each one is custom-made, you can choose to completely change the tooth’s size, shape, and color. Whether you have one unsightly tooth or several, porcelain veneers can mask your dental imperfections with the appearance of a flawless smile.

What Issues do Porcelain Veneers Fix?

This versatile cosmetic treatment has a range of uses, including:

• Concealing stains, chips, and cracks.
• Reshaping teeth that are misaligned, worn down, or misshaped.
• Closing small gaps between slightly crooked teeth.

Are There Different Types of Dental Veneers?

There are two types of dental veneers:

• Prep-less veneers: This new way to apply dental veneers requires the least amount of enamel to be removed and can typically be accomplished in a single appointment. However, these can only be used to correct teeth that are positioned in a specific way.
• Traditional veneers: The most common choice is traditional veneers. For the veneer to lay seamlessly in line with the rest of your teeth, a thin layer of enamel is removed. Once it has been permanently bonded to the front of the prepared tooth, you can expect to enjoy it for a decade or longer.

Don’t let your imperfect teeth keep you from fully enjoying life! Talk to your cosmetic dentist to discover if porcelain veneers can give you a smile you can’t wait to show off.
